To all 4whom it may concern.'

Be it known that l, Arinnaw lil. Soivnrcnsim, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Milwaukee, in the county of llilwaukee and State of llilisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Publication- Binders; and I do hereby declare trat the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention consists in certain peculiarities of construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly set forth with reference to the accompanying drawings and pointed out in claims herewith; its object bedurable, and efficient binders especially designed for liling periodical publications, said binders being easy of manipulation.

Figure l of the drawings represents a plan view of one of my improved binders having a cover of same removed and parts broken away, a publication being illustrated in said binder; F ig. 2, a transverse section view of the binder with publications filed therein, the view being indicated by line in Fig. l; Fig. 3, a perspective view of the detachable publication holder of the binder; Fig. Ll, a similar view of the binderback; Fig. 5, a perspective view of another form of back, and Fig. 6, a like view of another form of publication holder designed for engagement with the binder-back illustrated by Fig. 5.

Referring by letter to the drawings, A indicates the back-block of my improved binder, this block being preferably convex at the rear but otherwise angular, and covers B have flexible-joint connection with said block. Fastened by tacks l) or other suitable means to the ends of the block A to project therefrom are angular pocket-clips @,and straddling said block flush therewith, in a inortise of saine, is a suitably bent plate D provided with an aperture c that registers with a recess Z in the aforesaid block. Set in against flanges e of the clips C is a detachable publication holder flanked by other llanges of said clips at right-angles to the anges aforesaid. For a plurality of publications, the holder comprises a spring-wire bent to form parallel end stretches g, g', at right-angles to an intervening stretch it, and a latch-stretch z', this latch-stretch being an extension of the end stretch g and having its hook-end i engageable with the plateaperture and block-recess aforesaid. Said holder also comprises tiat strips y' each insertible in a publication longitudinally thereof to have its ends project beyond the same. 'he strips are provided with eyes at their ends and these eyes are for the engagement of the stretches g, g, of the wire aforesaid. rlhe latch-stretch of the wire prevents accidental disengagement of the strips j from the stretch g of the wire, and the tapered free end g of the stretch g of said wire is bent over for the same purpose. The strips j one afte1 another in ascending order are detached from the stretch g of the wire, ing to provide simple, economical, strong,

inserted in a publication E and returned i to normal position, the holder being locked in its engagement with the end-clips of the back-block of the binder by means of the latch stretch of the wire member of said holder caught in the above described plateaperture and block-recess. The plate D takes latch-wear that would otherwise come upon the back-block of the binder, but it is not absolutely essential to the success of my invention.

In Fig. 5, one of the end-clips C of the back-block A is shown provided with a flange 7c in addition to its flanges e j, and a latch m is provided in pivotal connection with said block to be swung over the other end-clip when the publication holder is in place. The preferred form of publication holder for engagement with the clips C is shown in Fig. G, as a recurved strip j', its longitudinal stretches being for insertion in a publication, and the clip-flange ,7c and latch m of the binder-back prevent accidental disengagement of said publication-holder from said back. This latter form of my invention is especially designed for single publications.

I claim:

l. A binder comprising a back having lateral end projections each provided with flanges at right-angles thereto and to themselves, a publication-holder in detachable engagement with said projections of the back, and means for preventing accidental displacement of the holder.

2. A binder comprising a back having angular pockets projecting laterally `from its ends, a publication holder in detachable engagement with the pockets, and a latch for locking said holder in said pockets.

3. A binder comprising a back having laterally projecting end pockets and arecess, and a publication-holder provided with a latch engageable with the back recess, Whereby said holder is held in detachable engagement with Said back.

i. A binder comprising a publicationholder one member ef which iS a Spring-wire bent to forni parallel end stretcliee at rightangleel to an interreningl stretch, one off these end stretches being bent over at its tree end and the other provided With a latch-extension; other holderanenibers having` end eyes engageable with the parallel end stretches of the member atoreeaid, and a back provided with laterally projectingl end pockets for the engagement of the holder Well as with a recess for the engagementy of the latch-portion of Said holder.

binder conxprieing a publicationholder one member of which is a spring-'wire bent to form parallel end-etretcliee atrightangles to an intervening stretch, one o' these end stretches being bent over at its free end and the other provided with a latch-extension, other holder-members having end eyes engaged with the parallel endrstretches of the member aforesaid, a back-block provided with a keeper rec-ees for the holder-latch, and flanged clips in connection with the ends of Said block to form laterally extending pockets with which said holder has detachable engagement.

n testimony that l claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in 'the county of Milwaukee and State of YWisconain in the presence of two Witnessea.
